Busy

I haven't read the papers in a fortnight..
Because that's how busy I've been..

In a fortnight so many things have happened..
Terrorists have attacked numerous targets..
Tragedies and typhoons have struck..
Thousands have died..

With all this madness and insanity going on..
I wonder what good is there to be able to declare that we ALL have Human Rights..
When so much terror is at large?
So what if technology is becoming increasingly advanced..
When the world population is becoming increasingly violent?
Why bother to look to tomorrow..
When some people will not even live to see beyond today?

It is easy to lose hope..
Too easy to point fingers..
Too easy for us to hide in our comfort zones..
Doing things as we've always done..
Never needing to acknowledge the ever blackening shadow of Terror threatening to consume the world in which we live..

But Grace allows us a slight glimmer of light in the dark..
Whilst half the world is at war..
Whilst they are in grief and in pain..
Whilst Life's sanctity is suject to constant brutality..

The other half of the world continues running the Human race..
By upholding Justice as much as they can..
By continuing to work at Medicine and Cures..

Which brings me back to Daffodil Day..
And my staunch belief that one day we will rise against Cancer..

Standing apart from the upsetting articles I've read all day..
From Male Rape to the Terror Threat..
This one article (about scientists stumbling on a gene that helps to predict cancer..
I had put up a link to the article, but it got moved to the archives after a week and Straits Times wants payment to access their archives..
Which I think is RIDICULOUS..
Such information SHOULD be free!!)
Stands apart with its message of Hope for cancer victims and their families :)

Hope no matter how tiny will sustain us..
Especially when your loved ones are struggling and you can't do anything about it..
If you have lost Hope..
It is my prayer that you find it again..

I know my entry today is long and rather draggy..
I'm rather sober today..
Thank you for even reading up to this stage..

Love & Hope..
